So, I posted my judgements using the itch.io thing, but it didn't post the way I expected to; so I am going to just type a message here. I hope this all finds you well.

First off, I want to thank every single person who submitted, or even considered submitting to this game jam. I was a bag of uncertainty when it came to how well this was going to go, as this first one I ever hosted. I absolutely loved EVERY  SINGLE SUBMISSION. These games, and submissions all gave me a big smile when I read them, every time I seen them. And I am super excited to take what I learned next time to apply to my next game jam a year from now.

I want to ask: If you have any thoughts or opinons on how to improve this for next year, please tell me! Be as critical as you want, I can take it. I promise I won't cry (a lot).

Now, lets get into why you all might have come here for; judge's choice. Who did good enough to say that they got judge's choice this year:

These are the first place submissions, each of them spoke to me in what they wrote, and how they played out. Each of them got the rank of "1st" place, as they got near perfect marks from me.

I been arguing to myself about the other "ranking" positions, but I am not going to post any of the other positions. not that there was a huge difference in them. Most people did so good that they are runner ups in their own right. I could sit down and just dig into all these submissions and just play and have fun. You all did an amazing job, and if you take the time to partake next year, I will be so happy with that!

I will probably try and get more than myself as a judge though; it was really hard to do that part by myself.

I'm so happy to be in the Judge's Choice with these other awesome games and their wonderful creators!! Everyone in this jam did amazing and it's been so fun seeing all the different games and styles of play in each.

Here's to next year to see if we can all participate again for such a lovely jam!! <3 It's been a real pleasure <3
